map help

[NBalfa]

I am making a map where you will be in a team and you will have to destroy every enemy's base
there will be 4 teams of 2-3 members
each team's base will be at the corners of the map
towers will protect these bases
there will be lanes where creeps will pass from​

in other words it will be like dota but there will be 4 teams instead of 2!​

what I need is ...

• some pictures so that I can think how the map will be I mean the lanes the size of the bases and so on and so forth

 

[tommerbob]

Uh....what?

(Just some advice....don't advertise something "IT WILL BE LIKE DOTA ZOMG". It tends to turn people off....)

 

[NBalfa]

read it again I got confused before and instead of pressing preview post I pressed submit reply

 

[Whoareyou.]

I say an X lane so like creeps spawn at the corners and go diagonal the X terrain would be like different from the other terrain, and then some creep spawns on the top of X and bottom and right and left.

 

[DioD]

you shoud not let all creeps meet at same spot

use 4 star or something like this to let creeps fight 1-1 at different locations and dont actually meet at center.

 

[Whoareyou.]

Then.. a Square? So like Top Left goes Right and when Top Left Creeps meet the right then a spawn of units come and fight then just a rotation so the units meet? Idk.

 

[DioD]

You need 2 circles, internal and external. (or 2 aquares)

Creeps on external circle move directly to enemy.

Creeps on internal circle move to distant enemy after they already at circle clock vice, leaving circle when they need.

Without player interaction they shoud not meet at all, since move speed is same.

its damn hard to explain, i will make demomap now.

 

[DioD]

here is first version of demomap (paths only), to let everyone fight everyone 1-1 at time you need something like this.

or 2 triangles? That would be a lot different than other maps.

 

[NBalfa]

can't really get you
do some triggering and make me see the whole map

Edit: what circles or triangles?

 

[Whoareyou.]

Like the maps terrain for creep movement

 

[DioD]

some triggering will take some time.

This is map with named waypoints, you can check direction of unit movement from editor.
Actual waypoint will come later (its is not hard to do, simply boring, a lot of copypaste).

circle movement will work too, simply let creeps directly to middle path and let them go right, leaving cirle on next waypoint, this will be included as option, but such movement more fun then strategy, since all players will farm at middle.

 

[NBalfa]

still can't get you

 

[DioD]

bad luck, i cant help then, if marked map dont work, nothing will.

 

[NBalfa]

can you make the units to move trough triggers or type the areas they should move from to?

 

[Whoareyou.]

Can't you trigger that yourself? o.o.

 

[NBalfa]

I am not saying that I cant I am saying that I can't understand the movements the units should make

 

[DioD]

Every region marked as

Right_Up_2_Left_Down

is this too hard to understand where unit go from this region?

i wont trigger it myself cos its damn boring to copypaste same trigger 48 times.

Are you copying me? I've made a map like this before, it's called The Cross :3 if you like, I can email it to you, and you can take it apart and figure out how it works it's not my favourite map and quite out-dated, but the simple concepts should help you out

However, in my map, every AI creep team has a personal target, they all fight into the middle, but then attack their target. The target is allocated randomly, so sometimes you get multiple teams attacking the same target!
